Life's lessons in lyrics... A good rock song usually contains some sort of life lesson...what are some lyrics that have taught you things about life?
In Fear of Fear You fear the lesson And fear to walk And fear to pass on Your fear to talk The teacher was feared Your parents too Then you became The fear of you Fear Look to yourself Climb over the wall And see behind That you're not so small Then you won't blame fear When competing's too much As you fall on your back As you fail to touch Fear And I say to you When your fear is strong When you fear your life Then your fear is wrong Set free your past So shredding the skin Then you won't fear The fear of fear Fear | |

I've learned from lyrics that putting your right foot in, taking your right foot back out, then putting it back in and then shaking it is what Life's really all about...  | |

On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness ’til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said, son, I’ve made a life out of readin’ people’s faces, And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don’t mind my sayin’, I can see you’re out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done. Now ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’ Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep. ’cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. So when he’d finished speakin’, he turned back towards the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count you r money when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done. I wish I had heard this before I blew that 6k at the casino  clever clever quotation - attention getting quote - sad yet witty remark - look at me! Im deep quote- song lyric about my ex cause that bitch stole my mp3 player! - line from movie I liked - Prince lyric - not very clever sig mocking other sigs | |

Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)
The Temptations People moving out, People moving in, Why, because of the color of their skin, Run, run, run, but you just can't hide. An eye for an eye, Tooth for a tooth, Vote for me and I'll set you free, Rap on, brother, rap on. Well, the only person talking about loving thy brother is the preacher, And it seems nobody's interested in learning, but the teacher, Segregation, demonstration, intergration, determination, aggravation, humiliation, Obligation to our nation. Ball of confusion, That's what the world is today, hey. The sale of pills is at an all time high, Young folks walk with their heads in the sky, The cities aflame in the summertime, And oh the beat goes on. Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul-shooting rockets to the moon, Kids growing up too soon, Politicians say, "More taxes will solve everything," The band played on. So, round and around and around we go, Where the world's headed, nobody knows Oh, Great Googamooga, Can't you hear me talking to you, Just a ball of confusion, That's what the world is today, hey. Fear in the air, tension everywhere, Unemployment rising fast, The Beatles new record's a gas, And the only safe place to live, Is on an Indian reservation, The band played on. Eve of destruction, tax deduction, City inspectors, bill collectors, mod clothes in demand, Population out of hand, suicide, too many bills, Hippies moving to the hills, People all over the world are shouting, "End the war!", And the band played on. Great Googamooga, Can't you hear me talking to you, Just a Ball Of Confusion, That's what the world is today, yea-yea, Just A Ball of Confusion, Tell ya that's what the world is today, yea-yea, Just a Ball Of Confusion, oh | |

Bridge over Troubled Water
Simon and Garfunkel When you're weary, feelin' small, When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all; I'm on your side, when times get rough And friends just can't be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you're down and out, When you're on the street, When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part, when darkness comes And pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine. Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind, Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind | |

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you. I walked out this mornin', and I wrote down this song; I just can't remember who to send it to. I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, But I always thought that I'd see you again. Won't you look down upon me Jesus? You gotta help me make a stand. You just got to see me through another day. My body's achin', and my time is at hand. I won't make it any other way. I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, But I always thought that I'd see you again. Been walkin' my mind to an easy time, My back turned towards the sun. Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around. Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come: Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground. I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, But I always thought that I'd see you again. | |

Waterfalls
A lonely mother gazing out of her window Staring at a son that she just can't touch If at any time he's in a jam She'll be by his side But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helping At all 'cause he can't seem to keep His self out of trouble So he goes out and he makes his money The best way he knows how Another body laying cold in the gutter Listen to me Chorus: Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that You're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Little precious has a natural obsession For temptation but he just can't see She gives him loving that his body can't handle But all he can say is baby it's good to me One day he goes and takes a glimpse In the mirror But he doesn't recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesn't know why 3 letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me Chorus I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of grey I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days And like His promise is true Only my faith can undo The many chances I blew To bring my life to anew Clear blue and unconditional skies Have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries My only bleedin' hope Is for the folk who can't cope Wit such an endurin' pain That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain Who's to blame For tootin' caine in your own vein What a shame You shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane And name this day and time For fallin' prey to crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind Dreams are hopeless aspirations In hopes of comin' true Believe in yourself The rest is up to me and you Chorus i love you for who you are, not the one u feel u need to be.
My star shines bright ....even in the darkest night...  | |

There was a rose I knew, I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth Ashamed of the way you lied, played with the truth, hey, hey Mmm, she never knew what hit her Steal her honey, then forget her a rose She wears a flower Tryin' to forget about you Cause..... (Chorus 1) A rose is still a rose Baby, girl, you're still a flower He can't lead you and then take you Make you and then break you Darlin', you hold the power Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself When he tells you that he loves you and sees nobody else And now you're so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and things Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings Oh.oh.yeah When she faces the mirror, yeah She's cryin', you can't hear her Now the rose is still a rose She wears a flower, tryin' to forget about you (Chorus 2) 'Cause a rose is still a rose Baby, girl, you're still a flower He can't lead you and then take you Make you and then break you Baby, girl, you hold the power See..... (Repeat Chorus 1) Let your life be in the sunshine Not the darkness of your sorrow You may see your all today When you know it'll come tomorrow Tough to be, but life ain't over Just because your man is gone Girl, love yourself and love to love 'Cause without him your life goes on Without him your life goes on Without him your life goes on (Repeat Chorus 1) See.... (Repeat Chorus 2)

Let It Be
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken hearted people Living in the world agree, There will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is Still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Yeah There will be an answer, let it be. And when the night is cloudy, There is a light that shines on me, Shine until tomorrow, let it be. I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. | |

What About Love
Heart I've been lonely I've been waiting for you I'm pretending and that's all I can do The love I'm sending Ain't making it through to your heart You've been hiding, never letting it show Always trying to keep it under control You got it down and you're well On the way to the top But there's something that you forgot What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you You might need it someday I can't tell you what you're feeling inside I can't sell you what you don't want to buy Something's missing and you got to Look back on your life You know something here just ain't right What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you What about love Don't you want someone to care about you What about love Don't let it slip away What about love I only want to share it with you Don't know if this is so much a "life lesson", but I always wanted to play this song for someone I knew who had a real loser of a boyfriend, as a wakeup call. The lyrics were sooooo fitting for the situation that she was in! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
